Itunes won't recognise Ipod touch 5G

So this is for my friend who has a 5G, but her Itunes won't recognise the ipod touch 5G, but windows can recognise it, Itunes says to reset the Ipod touch, and she has done this before, and now again it won't recognise it, so she has to reset it, and this is quite annoying her, as resetting takes a long time. my friend had a 4G before, and had no problems with this, she sold the 4G to get the 5G. She has a window 7 laptop. I've tried several ways but it hasn't solved it.
What can we do to solve it ?

Itunes won't detect ipod touch after upgrade to firmware 1.1.4

I am in desperate need of help. My 16GB Ipod is no longer being detected by iTunes.
I decided to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.4. through iTunes. The update wasn't interrupted and i can see no issues during the procedure. when the update was completed, my iPod had no content in it and it wasn't showing up in iTunes.
Here's what i've tried so far to correct this:
- Uninstalled iTunes and all other apple related software and then re-installed
- tried different USB ports on my laptop
- Reset all setting within the ipod
- Run the iTunes diagnostic. It error's out during the sync test.
I've tried to find any other similar example on other sites but haven't been successful.
Please help.

ITunes not recognizing original IPod touch after new one installed

I tried to set up new IPod touch but itunes wouldn't recognize it. Downloaded latest version of itunes. Was able to set up new IPod touch but now old touch not being recognized by itunes. Went through the troubleshooting guide with no positive results. Old (unreconized) touch is fully charged. Restarted computer. Restarted itunes. Changes usb ports. Nothing working. Any ideas?

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

ITunes won't accept iPod Touch Remote

I'm trying to use the Remote App on my iPod Touch with the most recent version of iTunes (the one that includes support for the iPad). At first it accepted my iPod Touch 2g, then wouldn't let it connect anymore. I bought a new 3rd generation, and the same thing happened: it let it connect, then all of a sudden, it won't anymore. I've checked to make sure that the box is checked under the Devices tab AND I've double checked to make sure that iTunes is listed as an exception on the Firewall.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes AND done a factory reset on the iPod. I'm at wits end! Using the iPod as a remote is a big deal for me; I'm using it in a general music room and I need it to be able to control iTunes from anyplace in the room, not to mention using it to control music for concerts.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I like you and a lot of people (I've been ready posts here and on iTunes reviews) have been trying to get this app to work, been at it for 2 days. I just got it to work and it is still working even after turning my iTouch off then back on. It actually finds my library each time now!
I have AT&T Gateway Broadband. There was the problem. I had to change the firewall for the broadband hardware. By typing http://homeportal in your browser it opened up all the info about my Gateway. There you can change the firewall settings.
I got all of this info from the following site (because we have a OutCast speaker - that I LOVE). Anyway the last page on this link is where I got the info to change the Hardware Router firewall setting. Some of the other info may also help troubleshoot.

Hope this can help you or someone else!!!
Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be.

TS1368 Computer won't recognise ipod touch

My computer wouldn't recognise my ipod touch in either itunes or my computer, so i then erased it and reset the factory settings and now it just has the "connect to itunes" logo appear on the screen and it is still unrecognisable by my computer. How can this problem be fixed?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes won't recognize iPod touch since Snow Leopard

I convinced my dad to get Snow Leopard (the low price helped), and he loaded it onto his macbook pro, but now his iPod touch won't mount – it charges from the USB port, but iTunes doesn't recognize it. We plugged in my iPhone to see if it would work, and it started iPhoto, but not iTunes. That shows pretty conclusively that the trouble is with iTunes software. We haven't tried reinstalling it because I'm worried he'll lose all of his many playlists and settings. Any suggestions?

Hello JacobST,
Have you tried resetting the iPod touch with it connected to the Mac? To do this, press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons together until the unit powers off. Then press and hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
If not luck with that, work through the troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document. You can choose to skip the re-installation of iTunes until later, but do know that it will have no affect on the media or settings, because this information is stored elsewhere on his Mac.

New itunes won't sync ipod touch

Received replacement 1st generation ipod touch yesterday. Downloaded newest version of itunes at the local library, put on thumb drive. (I don't have internet at my residence, stand-alone computer) Itunes recognizes the ipod, but won't let me put any media on it. It keep sgiving me an error message that I'm not connected to the internet.
What should I do? Would reverting to an earlier version of itunes work?

You need internet access to authorize the computer/log into your account in iTunes. After that you shuld not longer need internet access.
Two solutions:
-- Get internet access at home
-- Copy all you media to a USB drive or similar and go to friend's home with iTunes and internet access and load up your iPod there.

Itunes won't read ipod touch

why won't itunes read my ipod touch

Okay, this may be an issue with your iPod. It is very rare, but the iPhone may have corrupted due to a software glitch or perhaps being dropped etc. In a last-ditch attempt to get it working. You could try reformatting your iPod Touch by going into settings > general > reset and clicking " erase all content and settings". I would do this only if you have backed up your iPod and iTunes before. Once you've done this, re-sync with iTunes, and set up the iPod Touch as a backup of your old iPod-that way all your old content (music, photos and apps) will be reloaded onto your iPod Touch.
You can also check this out, and see if this helps solve your problem:

ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.

WIndows/iTunes won't recognise iPod

I connected my 30Gb iPod one day, added some songs, disconnected it properly, listened to my iPod, then came back to connect it to the computer. I waited for a while to see why the "Do Not Disconnect" message hadn't appeared. Instead just the "charging" icon appeared and neither iTunes nor Windows recognised my iPod.
I would restore it, but i don't know how without iTunes, and I would rather leave that as a last resort as i have a lot of data on their that I don't have backed up on the computer.
Is there anyway to get my computer to recognise the iPod?

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Still no joy, see these.
